He had taken his degree two years ago.

"You will make me vain if you tell me that," he ausneered, with half a laugh, but as he spoke he took her hand, and snowed his gratitude by giving it a clasp that almost brought the water to her eyes. I shall see you again -very some, I'hope ?" he said to Dorcas as he shook hands with ber too - with $omewhat less ferver. And with that question-wbfeh Dorcas did not, answer -he took his depar- ture, and two women watched him as he went quicitly down the garden path, altuost with as springy and light a step as that with whicilt be bed been used to tread a when he was 4 boy.

"Wbat a long thno it is since we had our last walk together I" be suddenly said. "You don't remem- ber it at all, I &trolly ; but I do.

I don't remember your being cut up; that is all." "No, because you were too yottng to know anything about it. But I had a. lump in my throat, I can tell you that." "Had you ? I hope you soon got rid of it ?" inquired Dorcas polite- ly. And then he burst out laugh- ing. "'Mutt a hard heart you have Do you never feel lumps in your own throat, or anything of that sort ?" "Yes, sometimes." "I know I was horribly Corry to say geod-by that day. I don't think I was ever so sorry about anything." "I don't think you wero sorrier than --we were," the girl hurriedly said. They were the softest words that she had spoken to him yet, since they had met. Perhaps, hitherto, though she had been glad to be with him, she had hardly let him see that she was glad ; she had boon rather brusque to him ; if she had liked to talk to hiln she had not made it too .evident that she liked it ; but now this little sentence came out with a sudden sweetness and earnestness in it, and when she halted near the end, it almost seem- ed as if the word upon her lips ha.d been not a pIttral pronoun, but a Singular one. .

As tile size of the "dishes" is not specified in the bill of fare, a pretty good idea can be had of what a big banquet this coronation feast was from the total quantities of all the edibles. They consisted as follows: Beef, 7,422 pounds; veal, 7,128; mutton, 2,474; house lamb, 20 quar- ters; legs of lamb, 20; lamb, 5 sad- dles; grass Iamb, 55 quarters; lamb sweetbreads, 160; cow heels, 309; goose, l es'feet. 400; suet, 250 pounds: pullets and capons, 720; chickens, 1,610; fowls for stock, 520; bacon, 1,730 pounds; lard, :150 pounds; butter, 912 pounds; eggs, 8,400. This grand. feast and the other cor- onation incidentals cost $1,840,000. A good estimate of what the banquet alone cost"can be made by consider- ing that the coeta of the coronation of William IV., nine years afterward, when there was no banquet, was On- ly $250,000.

It. quegtion of vital Interest to the majority of mother to -day is what food is best calculated to meet tho demands of growing childhood, as well as to supply the waste, of its tissue& 'With tbe fast-growlug child its demands for food oft.times nem incon- sistent, but in most inetances it will bo found that its system is really in need of a certain food substance, which can only be gotten by eating an excess of the unuccessary food la order to ob- tain it. With active exercise of both mind and body, es with the rollicking school -boy, the demand for proper food is great. In most instances, and leaving it to the children's decision, "proper food" means pastries, etc. Instead of these building up and repairing the body, they servo to give more heat and energy to an already worn, tired -out Sntilik.. in order to get 4 clearer conception of the effect of such a diet, one has only to observe the stunted growth and pallid faces of the children of the very poor, who are fed on an almost exclusive diet of starch foods. It is cheaper aud n1 ready prepared by tho bakers. Therein lies its merit. Appetites ran become perverted as to the eating of sweet pastries the same as by any other habit. .As our inheri- tance, we are always craving the sweets of life. The bitter are always cast aside. The virtues of whole-wheat bread for the growing child are many. It sup. plies every need and want of the human body.
